Guild Holdings Company (NYSE: GHLD) (“Guild” or the “Company”),
a growth-oriented mortgage company that employs a
relationship-based loan sourcing strategy to execute on its mission
of delivering the promise of homeownership, today announced results
for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2023.
“We have continued to leverage the strength of our platform to
grow market share as we execute on our strategy that is focused on
the purchase market,” stated Terry Schmidt, Guild Holdings Chief
Executive Officer. “We are proud to be a lender of choice in the
communities across the country that we serve by providing creative
solutions for homebuyers seeking to finance their homes in this
higher rate environment. As we look forward, we are encouraged by
the market stabilization that is emerging, but anticipate a more
muted environment in the near term, particularly in the seasonally
slower first quarter.”
Ms. Schmidt continued, “By being disciplined and focusing on
maintaining a robust capital position, we have effectively pursued
complementary and compelling acquisitions and team additions to
position us for growth when the cycle turns. We are pleased with
our most acquisition of Academy Mortgage, which lifts Guild to
become the 8th largest non-bank retail mortgage lender and
represents a 25% increase to origination volume based on results
from both organizations through the third quarter of 2023,
according to data from Inside Mortgage Finance Publications. This
acquisition marks the fifth transaction over past year and a half,
adding new geographies, loan officers and products that will
continue to distinguish Guild in the marketplace and allow us to
create meaningful value for our shareholders over time.”

Origination Segment Results
Origination segment net loss was $26.8 million in the fourth
quarter compared to net income of $7.2 million in the prior quarter
primarily driven by lower origination volumes due to low housing
supply and purchase seasonality, coupled with prolonged higher
interest rates. Gain on sale margins on originations declined 47
bps quarter-over-quarter to 330 bps. Gain on sale margins on
pull-through adjusted locked volume decreased 42 bps
quarter-over-quarter to 347 bps and total pull-through adjusted
locked volume was $3.3 billion compared to $4.1 billion in the
prior quarter.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement our financial statements presented in accordance
with GAAP and to provide investors with additional information
regarding our GAAP financial results, we disclose certain financial
measures for our consolidated and operating segment results on both
a GAAP and a non-GAAP (adjusted) basis. The non-GAAP financial
measures disclosed should be viewed in addition to, and not as an
alternative to, results prepared in accordance with GAAP. These
non-GAAP financial measures are not based on any standardized
methodology prescribed by GAAP and are not necessarily comparable
to similarly titled measures presented by other companies.
Adjusted Net Income. Net income (loss) is the most
directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in
accordance with GAAP for Adjusted Net Income, a non-GAAP measure.
We define Adjusted Net Income as earnings or loss attributable to
Guild excluding (i) the change in the fair value measurements
related to our MSRs due to changes in model inputs and assumptions,
(ii) change in the fair value of contingent liabilities related to
completed acquisitions, net of change in fair value of notes
receivable related to acquisitions, (iii) amortization of acquired
intangible assets and (iv) stock-based compensation. We exclude
these items because we believe they are non-cash expenses that are
not reflective of our core operations or indicative of our ongoing
operations. Adjusted Net Income is also adjusted by applying an
estimated effective tax rate to these adjustments. In addition, we
exclude the change in the fair value of MSRs due to changes in
model inputs and assumptions from Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted
EBITDA below because we believe this non-cash, non-realized
adjustment to net revenues is not indicative of our operating
performance or results of operations but rather reflects changes in
model inputs and assumptions (e.g., prepayment speed, discount rate
and cost to service assumptions) that impact the carrying value of
our MSRs from period to period.
Adjusted Earnings Per Share—Basic and Diluted. Earnings
per share is the most directly comparable financial measure
calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP for Adjusted
Earnings per share, a non-GAAP measure. We define Adjusted Earnings
Per Share as our Adjusted Net Income divided by the basic and
diluted weighted average shares outstanding of our Class A and
Class B common stock. Diluted weighted average shares outstanding
is adjusted include potential shares of Class A common stock
related to unvested RSUs that were excluded from the calculation of
GAAP diluted loss per share because they were anti-dilutive due to
the net loss, when applicable.
Adjusted EBITDA. Net income (loss) is the most directly
comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance
with GAAP for Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure. We define
Adjusted EBITDA as earnings before (i) interest expense on
non-funding debt (without adjustment for net warehouse interest
related to loan fundings and payoff interest related to loan
prepayments), (ii) taxes, (iii) depreciation and amortization and
(iv) net income attributable to the non-controlling interests and
excluding (v) any change in the fair value measurements of our MSRs
due to valuation assumptions, (vi) change in the fair value of
contingent liabilities related to completed acquisitions, net of
change in fair value of notes receivable related to acquisitions
and (vii) stock-based compensation. We exclude these items because
we believe they are not reflective of our core operations or
indicative of our ongoing operations.
Adjusted Return on Equity. Return on equity is the most
directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in
accordance with GAAP for Adjusted Return on Equity, a non-GAAP
measure. We define Adjusted Return on Equity as annualized Adjusted
Net Income as a percentage of average beginning and ending
stockholders’ equity during the period.
Tangible Net Book Value Per Share. Book value per share
is the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and
presented in accordance with GAAP for Tangible Net Book Value Per
Share. We define Tangible Net Book Value Per Share as total
stockholders’ equity attributable to Guild, less intangible assets,
net and goodwill divided by the total shares of our Class A and
Class B common stock outstanding. The most directly comparable GAAP
financial measure for Tangible Net Book Value Per Share is book
value per share.
We use these non-GAAP financial measures (other than Tangible
Net Book Value Per Share) to evaluate our operating performance, to
establish budgets and to develop operational goals for managing our
business. These non-GAAP financial measures are designed to
evaluate operating results exclusive of fair value and other
adjustments that are not indicative of our business’s operating
performance. Accordingly, we believe that these financial measures
provide useful information to investors and others in understanding
and evaluating our operating results, enhancing the overall
understanding of our past performance and future prospects. In
addition, management uses the non-GAAP financial measure of
Tangible Net Book Value Per Share to evaluate the adequacy of our
stockholders’ equity and assess our capital position and believes
tangible net book value provides useful information to investors in
assessing the strength of our financial position.
For more information on these non-GAAP financial measures,
please see the “GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliations” included at the
end of this release.

_________________
(1)
Includes retail forward, correspondent and
retail reverse and excludes wholesale reverse and brokered
loans.
(2)
Brokered loans are defined as loans we
originate in the retail channel that are processed by us but
underwritten and closed by another lender. These loans are
typically for products we choose not to offer in-house.
(3)
Represents loan origination fees and gain
on sale of loans, net plus gain on reverse mortgage loans held for
investment and HMBS-related borrowings, net divided by total
originations, excluding brokered loans, to derive basis points.
(4)
Pull-through adjusted locked volume is
equal to total locked volume, which excludes reverse loans,
multiplied by pull-through rates of 86.5%, 84.3% and 93.4% as of
December 31, 2023, September 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022,
respectively. We estimate the pull-through rate based on changes in
pricing and actual borrower behavior using a historical analysis of
loan closing data and “fallout” data with respect to the number of
commitments that have historically remained unexercised.
(5)
Represents loan origination fees and gain
on sale of loans, net divided by pull-through adjusted locked
volume.
(6)
Purchase recapture rate is calculated as
the ratio of (i) UPB of our clients that originated a new mortgage
with us for the purchase of a home in a given period, to (ii) total
UPB of our clients that paid off their existing mortgage as a
result of selling their home in a given period.
(7)
Refinance recapture rate is calculated as
the ratio of (i) UPB of our clients that originated a new mortgage
loan for the purpose of refinancing an existing mortgage with us in
a given period, to (ii) total UPB of our clients that paid off
their existing mortgage as a result of refinancing their home in
the same period.
(8)
Excludes reverse mortgage loans of $295.7
million and $73.7 million as of December 31, 2023 and September 30,
2023, respectively.
